it comes in 173 fer shurrrr

This is a new version of the Marker Jester ski binding which, last year, was the first ever truly park specific ski binding. While other companies would offer "jib" bindings, they were no different then other bindings except for maybe a rubber vibration absorption plate. The Griffon is different then the Jester in that it has a smaller spring to accommodate lighter skiers who require a smaller DIN. For park and freestyle riding the Griffon is flat (no incline ramp) so skiing backwards is more natural. It also has a wider platform for bigger skis and for smoother landings. It will definitely "hold up" in the park. **what about al the plastic content and breakage concerns above?

you don't need these for those skis, they cost almost as much as the skis, put some look/dynastar px12's on them instead.true dat willie; but to complete, as long as you have 76mm underfoot, width isn't an issue

The information listed here and on libtechnas.com is now correct. This is probably their most versatile ski; that is park, groomers, and powder. If you look now, this is the same as the jib nas except for graphics and the recurve, which helps just about everywhere.

you can ski them all over the mountain but there a symetrical ski( u porbaly already no this) which means that all mountain performance would be slightly worse than a ski with more "normal" dimensions. it would also help if the skis were not center mounted. If you like k2 and want a good all mountain ski id go with the extremes there more geared twords all mountain. These skis also have a VERY soft flex; you can (using your poles for balance) easily stand on the tips or tails.

I dont know about the ski but I will recomend a binding I know more about Rossignol Dynastar and Armada. For bindings go with look px 14's or rossignol's 140 check those out or even look into the 150 or 200 binding. For look and dynastars 150 and 200 its Px 15 and Px 18. sorry that i dont know about this ski. peace.These skis are really nice; they're light and the unheard of edge hold is not a myth. On this model though, they have a low tip, which gives you more contact area and a lighter ski, but its easier to get buried in deep snow. For bindings, look/rossi/dynastar bindings are the same thing, so you would get whichever fits your din range and how much lift you want. I would also check out the marker series with the short toe piece (duke/griffon). Those bindings are way lighter and let the ski have a more natural flexps the pics for this ski are incorrect. the left ski is pictured here, the right one is not. look at libtechnas.com to see the correct graphic, which looks even cooler in person.

in CM: 12/8.6/11.3The manufacturer's catalog can be found online (just copy/paste): http://www.libtechnas.com/This has dimensions, explanation of the recurve, and fun propaganda.They updated this recently (November 2008), so check it out.These are actually called the Pipe NAS (not park) by the mfgr.

They require you to mount them at the midsole (The boot center will be aligned with the narrowest part of the ski, or in this case with magnetraction, aligned with the center of the **largest** bump); which is farther forward on this ski than even most park skis. Mounting ahead or behind the midsole messes up the bumps. So no, but almost.
